Browser Requirements

The Central Bank website should work with any modern standards based browser. The Central Bank does not require, or recommend, any particular browser as our web sites and public-facing applications support the current versions of all major browsers. Testing is concentrated on the most commonly used browsers. At this time, this specifically includes Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox – other browsers such as Safari, Opera and Edge should work, but are not extensively tested due to low usage on our sites. Only vendor supported versions of browsers are supported by the Central Bank – unsupported versions should not be used as they present a security risk.

As of January 2016, the supported versions of common browsers we test against are:
